Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the MYBPC3 gene encoding human cardiac myosin-binding protein-C (cMyBP-C) are associated with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC), but the molecular mechanisms involved are not fully understood. In addition, development of FHC is sensitive to genetic background, and the search for candidate modifier genes is crucial with a view to proposing diagnosis and exploring new therapies. We used...
